thompsonplyler/README.md

I love making things that help people or make them smile. My focus as a developer is on JavaScript/React, Python/Flask, Ruby/Rails, but I've picked up bits and pieces of other tools along the way. I love making bits and pieces connecting Blender, ThreeJS, and other tools for display on the web. I also maintained my CCNA for years, and while I haven't worked as a sysadmin for a long time, I love learning about and understanding all the moving pieces and data of the computers themselves and the TCP/IP (etc.) that ties them all together, apart from code.

  • 👯 I’m looking to collaborate on projects involving ThreeJS with AR/VR, or Unity/Unreal with AR/VR...
  • 🐉 ... or any project, basically, connecting my skillset to Dungeons & Dragons / Pathfinder 2e. 🧙
  • 📫 The best way to reach me is probably LinkedIn or e-mail...
  • 🤗 ... unless we're already acquainted, in which case it's definitely Discord/Signal/Steam!
  • 😄 Pronouns: he/him/hero

Bits and Pieces

  • I was a United States Marine. My MOS was computer technician, where I went from from desktop support to network support to information assurance/ cybersecurity. Semper Fi.
  • I went to NYU for film school. I fell into graphics/ VFX/ motion graphics after that, where I worked on the gritty technical part (roto, keying, titles/subtitles, credits, painting/wire/object removal) of VFX on dozens of TV shows, commercials, and movies. If you can see my work, I didn't do a good job.
  • 💪 I was a strength and fitness coach for five years.
    • The best book to start with for serious training is Mark Verstegen's Core Performance.
    • My favorite recommendation for best overall fitness text for optimal physical performance (i.e. not merely weight loss or getting swole) is Mark Verstegen's Every Day is Game Day.
  • I love tabletop RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons. I would play Pathfinder 2e 7 days a week if it didn't demand so much darn time.
  • I love books, movies, TV, and video games. Here are some that I think you should enjoy:
    • 📚 Consider the Lobster by David Foster Wallace, The Art of Learning by Josh Waitzkin, The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle
    • 🎬 (only since 2010) Arrival, Cloud Atlas, Parasite
    • 💀 (horror movies) Martyrs (2008), Fear Street, Hereditary
    • 📺 Mad Men, Handmaid's Tale, This is Us, Breaking Bad, RIP The OA, RIP Archive 81
    • 🎮 League of Legends, Disco Elysium, Planescape: Torment, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, Doom: Eternal, Baldur's Gate 3
  • Yes, I am the anti-TL;DR. Why use 20 words when you can use 20,000?

☕ I'd love to hear from you! ☕
